Now the school summer holidays have started, there is something almost every day for Junior golfers to play in.

Help Wanted
The Junior A-team had their first match of the Summer season away at Peterborough Milton GC on Tuesday. Peter Walsh had to be team Driver/ manager for the match as no one else could help on the day.
If there are any members who would like to help with the juniors this summer, please let the office know. As most of the parents are working during the day a friendly face and someone to encourage them often goes a long way. The result went to the home team but with matches each week we are hopeful for some good home results.
Range
As a Temporary measure, range tokens are being restricted to a maximum purchase of 5 tokens at any one time. Due to the replacement of the ball machine new tokens (see Below) are now in circulation. The swap of small stocks of tokens kept by members of old for new has temporarily left us with only small number for daily use.
